Marching bands are the soundtrack of fall. Come enjoy the crisp autumn weather and experience nine outstanding high school marching bands at Henrico County Public Schools’ 2024 Band Showcase. This year’s event will take place Oct. 21at Hermitage High School and feature performances by bands from each of the school division’s comprehensive high schools.
The event is free, but donations are being accepted at the gate for the Henrico Christmas Mother campaign. Attendees can meet Linda Melton, this year’s Henrico Christmas Mother. The 40-year veteran of the banking industry has served on a host of area advisory boards and follows in the footsteps of her mother, Charlotte Melton, who served as Christmas Mother in 2000. Celebrate the 82nd anniversary of this community campaign by bringing donations of canned goods; peanut butter; cereal; crackers; hats, gloves and socks; and monetary donations.
